How much cake batter would you need to bake this size cake? A 9x13 pan would take a whole box of mix, would 2 boxes be too much?

when I use this pan, If I am making at least a three layer cake then I use the same amount of batter that is typical for 2 9" rounds. However, if you are making just a flat sheet with this cake I recommend double that for a nice full layer of cake. Sorry for late answer, btw. I was unable to get to my computer for a while. Happy baking and best of luck. Here is another tip, for even baking all the way through to center without burning or overcooking edges, use a metal flower nail turned over so that the flat side is down, placed in center of pan, and pour batter gently around it and cook as usual (coat metal flower nail with a little nonstick spray). when I use this pan, If I am making at least a three layer cake then I use the same amount of batter that is typical for 2 9" rounds.

Three regular cake mixes fill it perfectly right to the top when it's baked! It is a little more than double the size of a 9x13 pan.

2 boxes of cake mixes should be fine. I make my batter from scratch and it would probably equal that due to the amount of eggs used.

Since a 9 X 13 = 117 and a 12 X 18 = 216 you can see that two boxes of mix will fit very nicely, indeed. We use the larger size frequently and are always pleased with the result........Jack

I used mine with a 9x13 cake and had no problems. Handle with care, follow the directions, and you should be fine. Enjoy! :)

It will take 6 1/4 cups of batter and give 22 servings. If you go on the Fat Daddio's website, they have a chart under the "Help" heading that will give the batter capacity for all of their cake pans. This pan will definitely take in excess of an hour to bake the cake. I bake by internal temperature: cakes should be 205 degrees to be cooked through. A really good instant read thermometer is a must for baking cakes. Test the temperature when you can tell that the cake is no longer "jiggly" in the middle or it could deflate the cake a little. But, you are turning it over to frost so it really doesn't matter....that's experience speaking. Good luck.

The larger set of 4 strips fits 10, 12, 14 and 16" pans. If you are using a pan that is taller than 1", you may need to stack two strips, one on too of the other. You will also need to adjust your baking times in order to get the center of the cake completely cooked.

My wife, the baker says that it fits a 1/4 sheet cake, but will fit a cake baked in a 9 x 13 pan.

I make my own suet cakes and put one in at a time, however you could fit 2. If you did put 2 (the size you get at the grocery stores), I've put a small wood block in between them so there's one on each side. The block of wood (or anything you can find) keeps them from collapsing into the middle. Have fun!

Mine was about 8" high x 6" wide, the 6" being the base of the cupcake, not the top portion. The size of the cupcake will vary depending on how you bake and frost it. Please read my review, I had great results with using more than one boxed cAke to mAke the cup make. As far as comparing it to an 8" layer cake, if you mean in servings, 6 adults and two children each had a slice of the one I made, they were large slices. If you only use one box cake, it will not be this height. My friend used it as a smash cAke for first birthday and only used one box mix, hers looked like a 5" "rock" not like a cupcake at all. Hope this helps. Mine was about 8" high x 6" wide, the 6" being the base of the cupcake, not the top portion. The size of the cupcake will vary depending on how you bake and frost it.

This pan holds 10 cups of batter; every cake I made came out perfectly. If you are looking for a very large cake, this is not the pan for you. This is not a small cake pan either.

Actual baking area is 9x13. Could bake around 16 biscuits easy. Hope this helps.

I love this giant cupcake pan! This cupcake would be a little smaller than a two layer 6 inch round cake. Number of servings would depend on the size of pieces that are cut. Maybe eight small pieces.

I just measured my pan..It is approx. 9x13. However, the actual area to place items for baking is somewhat less. That is because the pan has handles on each end.

Both are good. It's up to you. In my experience I prefer the 2'' cause I put the batter in 2 pans and I just take them out and they're are my layers (so I have 2 layers of 2'' each) and I don't have to cut a cake in half and then put the filing. On this way I know my layers are even and the same height. But as I said, it's up to you.

I have used the pans. It was fun using these. One problem is the cake will make 4 (2) layer cakes. You get 4 pans and will have to make these in 2 batches unless you buy another set of pans. The recipe calls for a regular cake mix and you just split the batter between the pans. Glad I bought them. It's a little different for me.

I bake cakes in this pan that have up to 8 cups of batter. However, most of the recipes I have are 6 cups and the pan works well for that amount of batter also. (I just measured the capacity and the pan holds 11 cups. Since there needs to be room for rising, I would not use more than 8 cups of batter.) Hope this helps.

I love the cake pan and I'm quite an accomplished baker - but I don't like cakes you can't really cut without disastrous results! So my answer is simple - make 2 use both if you need them or throw one in the freezer. Remember not to fill it more than 1/2 way full. I use it every Thanksgiving for corn bread!

I usually use an 8"x 8" pan. You can also use a 9"x 9" and just reduce the cooking time. This is a "no-fail" mix! Good luck!

I would assume 1 cake mix should fill all 6 but every cake mix is different. The base is also 3inches in diameter. I highly recommend this pan although due to its shape, you need to be careful not to overbake. Good luck :)
